ABC Renews Black-ish For a 4th Season (http://www.spoilertv.com/2017/05/black-ish-renewed-for-4th-season.html)

"black-ish" Renewed for Season 4 at ABC

"black-ish" has earned a no-brainer renewal over at ABC. The Kenya Barris comedy will return in the fall for a fourth season.

The family sitcom isn't only one of ABC's highest-rated returning sitcoms, it has one thing that's proven especially elusive among Big Four comedies: cultural cachet. With three key Emmy nominations in 2016 and a recent Golden Globe Award for lead Tracee Ellis Ross, it heads into the next awards cycle with as much heat as ever — tackling hot-button issues of race and class with an all-star cast and an enviable creative team.





"black-ish" is still largely dependent on its Wednesday lead-in from "Modern Family" for live tune-in, but time-shifting remains significant. Season-to-date, the ABC Studios' single-camera comedy averages a 2.5 rating among adults 18-49 and 7.6 million viewers. It's all enough for the ABC Studios project to be mulling a potential spin-off around young actress Yara Shahidi.

Her character, who wraps the third season heading off to college, was originally considered for a new ABC vehicle — but since the backdoor pilot aired, it is now being considered for cable sister network Freeform.
